It only takes one person….

Someone emailed me yesterday about my 12 Days of December offers.  I won’t go into the details of their email, but let me just say that what started out as a fun thing to do, has now left me feeling like I have done the wrong thing by my customers.  I thought…if one person is complaining….what are others thinking?

So, this is an open apology if I have offended anyone with my special offers.  I have thought  a lot about it overnight, and have decided to stop them.

Everyone can still get 20% discount in my Etsy shop using the code THANKS.  That one is there forever and you can use it at any time.

Thanks for understanding.

Here is a photo of the Coopers Sparkling Ale necklace and earrings I made for the Urban Cow “Adelaide” Exhibition recently.  I realised the other day that I didn’t have a photo of it.

12 Days of December – Day 2

Day2

Any necklace orders received today will have the matching earrings included for FREE!

Wow!  What a great deal.  You don’t need a code for this special offer.  Simply go to my Etsy shop and find a necklace that you like.  When the order comes through to me, I will make the earrings to match that necklace, and include it in your package.  Simple.

12 Days of December- Day 1

Welcome to the 12 Days of December!

December is my favourite month of the year. Start of summer, end of the year! Plus I celebrate my birthday and Christmas during this month too.

I thought I would have some fun with my Etsy shop this December, and give everyone all sorts of fun offers and discounts during the first 12 Days of December.

Today’s discount is 40% off (with a minimum purchase of $75 AUD). The coupon code to apply at the checkout is DECEMBER2014.

The code will last until midnight.

Tomorrow there will be a new special offer, and I’ll have it listed on my website and on my Facebook page in case you are curious. This will continue for the 12 Days of December, so there will be lots of fun offers to check out.

December 14 is probably the last day to place an order if you need it to be there for Christmas in Australia. If you need it to go overseas, I would recommend getting orders in today.

Online Shopping – do you do it?

Review3 Review2 Review1

 

I buy a lot of things online, but I rarely buy jewellery (for obvious reasons)!

I have bought shoes online with no problems.  I have bought books online, same result.  I have not bought any clothes online yet.  I really do like to try things on before I buy them (I’m old school that way).

So, I know it can be quite a scary process.  To put your trust in someone you may or may not know to deliver the product that you bought.  You can only tell via the photographs and the descriptions what the product might look like.  It can be a worry…what if it doesn’t measure up when you get it?

That’s why I wanted to show you some of my reviews on Etsy so that you can SEE what people think of my work, when they have received it.  I have been really happy with the reviews that I have seen coming through, no one has sent anything negative, so I am guessing that I must be sending people what they expected!

But the best part about buying from someone like me is that I am not happy unless you are happy with your purchase.  So, if you have any problems at all, you can always contact me and we’ll work out what to do about it.

Feel free to email me if you do have any concerns about any products.  I am happy to answer your questions.

12 Days of December

GreenCollage

Starting on the 1st of December, I will have 12 special “daily” offers for anyone who wants to shop in my Etsy shop.  Each day I will have a new offer, and that offer will last for 24 hours.

I should mention here, that it is starting to get to the time of year that orders will need to be placed if you want the items before Christmas.  I live in a regional location, so things tend to take an extra day to get anywhere!  So, the last days to place orders are as follows:

Australian Shipping Last Date to Place Ordres for Christmas Delivery: 14 December
International Shipping Last Date to Place Orders for Christmas Delivery: 1 December

Thanks for understanding.

P.S. I’ll make sure the 1st of December special offer is a good one!

Peroni Beer Bottle – Recycled Glass Bead Jewellery

The beads in this jewellery were made from a Peroni Beer Bottle. Fantastic green! Eco-friendly!So, it started as a bit of an ironic idea….making beads from an Italian beer bottle!  But often the ideas that seem a bit silly to start with can end up being the best ones.  Have you ever noticed that?

I love the colour of this glass, the green is so bright and crisp (er, a bit like the beer really).

The Peroni range has been the most popular of my recycled glass pieces on Etsy, and in the shops that stock my recycled range, this past month.

Yellow Pops with Purple and Grey

Yellow-Purple

OK, I have to confess…I’m starting to like YELLOW!  I have been seeing it everywhere lately.  Home decor shops, clothing shops, spring flowers…everywhere!  I even picked up a yellow top in Target yesterday and wondered…”could I wear this?”

Unfortunately I am not the right colour to wear yellow successfully, but maybe you are?  It works beautifully back with purple and grey.
